One Without a Second: An Audio Series on Yoga Philosophy

Written by Hali Schwartz and Vina Nadjibulla. Narrated by Hali Schwartz.

The revelations of yoga philosophy emerged from the natural instinct to seek and the desire to understand, know, and peel back the layers of existence. This desire to peel away, and to get to the inner nature of all things—to reduce multiplicity into unity—is an innate human drive. Our seeking has a peeling nature to it. It starts from the external and moves through the layers of perception and knowing until awareness itself pierces through to the internal, illuminating the true Self, which was always there, but was not known.

— from ONE WITHOUT A SECOND, by Hali Schwartz.

When my book came out (One Without a Second: The Seeds of Yoga Philosophy from Root to Sprout) many people from my community and all over the world requested that I create an audio book out of it. Realizing that this would be a massive undertaking, my friend and colleague Vina and I set to work creating three separate recordings on specific themes of yoga philosophy that are presented in my book.

These three 35-45 minute recordings explore some of the most important and elegant aspects of the yoga philosophical tradition in a way that is both accessible for the novice on this subject, and enlightening for those who have been engaged in the serious study of yoga philosophy for many years.

These recordings are offered in two ways.

Podcast Three: Non-Dualism: The Path to Wholeness. Our discussion now focuses on three scriptures of the non-dualist tradition, which elucidates upon the nature of the true Self (ātman). Here, the true Self, is described as 'one and the same in all beings’, and the idea is brought forth that liberation (mukti) will take place only when soul awakens from the illusion of separateness (māyā).

Here we are introduced to the philosophical system of sāmkhya, which describes the human condition as suffering from false identification (sanyog) with the field of change (prakriti), and how this can be overcome.
